Essential services

Utilities such as electricity, gas and water are likely to have been shut off or disconnected during a disaster.

The suppliers for your power and water supplies will need to send a qualified tradesperson to inspect and repair any damage to your services and arrange for them to be reconnected.

Electricity

To report electricity outages or fallen powerlines and to check updates visit the SA Power Networks website or phone 13 13 66.

Supply can't be reconnected to a property until the safety of electrical wiring has been confirmed with an Electrical Certificate of Compliance from a qualified electrician. Customers who don't have access to an electrician can contact the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA) on 8272 2966 or 0402 384 999.
